I do NOT disbelieve in God. I just dont see him in the ramblings of the primitive people who penned the words.

"I do NOT disbelieve in God. I just dont see him in the ramblings of the primitive people who penned the words."

What God allowed is the personalty of the writer to come through in what was written. All of it is God breathed or inspired from Him. The people that penned the words aren't primitive nor ramblings since they penned what God wanted. Even today they don't understand earlier people. There is evidence of sophistication - such as the pyramids. We can't duplicate them today!

2Tim.3:16

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I just dont see him in the ramblings of the primitive people who penned the words.

We shouldn't be so smug.

I just imagine that in 4006, we will look a bit 'primitive' to those folks looking back at us!

How can you believe in God (capital G as in the God of the Bible) if you don't see Him is Scripture? If it weren't for the Bible and what He revealed to us in it, we would know next to nothing about Him. The Bible, which is what you dismiss as "the ramblings of the primitive people", is the only source of information about Him. And it's hardly *ramblings*. It's written at a level that most people can't even attain these days. Ramblings don't include such specific references to people, dates, and events, and it has found to be historically very accurate. It makes no sense to claim to believe in God and yet reject the very source of the information about Him.

I agree with this completely. All the Bible Reading in the world cannot tell you nearly as much about God as a day of fishing.
